Our program is part of the a national collaboration, Pediatric OSCE Collaboration of Canada (POCC), whose aim is to standardize the format of OSCEs across the country to better prepare residents for their Royal College OSCE examination. The objective is also to identify areas of strengths and weakness among all the general pediatric resident groups across the country. Ran twice per year, in the fall and in the spring.

The STACER is one part of the senior resident's assessment, which take place in the spring of the 3rd year of residency or later.
